We are in autumn and we start to see chestnuts on fruit stalls. I bought a kilo and as soon as I got home, I prepared the roasted chestnuts in the air fryer.
How good are roasted chestnuts! I love their taste, their aroma when they are warm, they evoke the scent of the autumn season.
When the season arrives, it is a pleasant tradition in my home to end a lunch or dinner, snacking on them on the couch in front of the TV.
I decided to prepare the roasted chestnuts in the air fryer because with this appliance you can cook everything!
For me, it has become indispensable!
A smart recipe to achieve a perfect result in a short time, without having to cook them on the stove for those who do not have the opportunity to prepare them on the fireplace.
With the air fryer, you will get a golden cooking without the burnt effect that might occur when making them in the perforated pan.

Steps
Make an incision on the rounded part of the chestnuts, this is to prevent them from bursting during cooking.
Soak them in water for an hour; soaking will make it easier to remove the inner skin when they are cooked.
Dry the chestnuts before cooking them.
Place them in the air fryer basket.
Avoid putting too many and keep them from piling on top of each other.
Close the basket and cook at 392°F for 20 minutes.
During cooking, open and stir the chestnuts for an even cook.
Once cooked, wrap them in a towel and peel them when they are warm, after about 4/5 minutes.
